Smile Pulled the truck today!

Well I went down to the local truck and tractor pull and did pretty well. I have seen alot of pulling and been around it, I was just never in the drivers seat. I ended up pulling 365.51 ft. and won the event the next closest truck was 308 some odd feet. It was very fun, dont ask about egt's I didn't even look because I wasn't going to back off anyhow. I am going to go back tomorrow hopefully and go after the trophy; today was only ribbons. I am working on getting the video up and will post it once it loads to photo bucket. Thanks for letting me share my story.

Congrats Jake. I hope the judges pay more attention than the announcer. Dodge?

Good job, Jake! At least the "videographer" knew what was going on. You made that look easy.

Wow, nice smooth run. You pulled it pretty damn far, but that's not suprising considering how light that sled looked. You addicted to?

Ok first a 91 dodge, then a 97 ford? That announcer musta been smoking something that was really good!

Excellent pull, good job!

Pulled today again and only made it 302 feet, the sled was set up a little different today. Just pulled the top 3 trucks from the day before a 99 f-350 and a dodge with a 6.7 with a dpf delete and edge tuner. Was a fun pull and want to do more, also went into another class the heavy weight and got fourth place at 242 feet.
First class had a couple of fords 97,99,02 and an 05, one chevy 2008 and a couple of dodges. Cant wait to do it all again.. Oh won a trophy today it is about 2 feet tall, pretty funny.
